Studier Grauburgunder Trocken

Winemaker Weingut Studier on the winery

“Our family winery is located in Ellerstadt, in Germany’s Pfalz region, at the foot of the Haardt mountains. We are passionate about creating wines that express the character of their grape varieties and origins. Our vineyards benefit from around 2,000 hours of sunshine a year, while cool air currents from the Pfälzerwald provide natural freshness. The limestone-rich loam soils also give our Burgundy varieties a soft, creamy expression. We farm organically and combine modern techniques with a careful approach to both the vineyards and the cellar.”

And on Pfalz, Germany

“Our Grauburgunder comes from the Pfalz, where the combination of sunny days and cool nights creates a fine balance between ripe fruit and freshness. The grapes grow on limestone-rich loam soils, contributing to the wine’s soft texture and delicate fruit expression. We harvest when the grapes have reached optimal ripeness, while ensuring that the alcohol does not overpower their freshness. Fermentation and ageing take place in stainless-steel tanks, preserving the pure character of the variety. On the nose, we find delicate notes of pear and almond blossom, followed by a soft, balanced palate and an elegant, gently mineral finish.”
